I can tell by her FB posts when she's feeling "out of it." Not sure if she has attempted it yet, but I believe she's done some cutting and other forms of acting out. It doesn't help that she's not the "barbie" type physically. With the recent surge in bullying and other reprehensible behaviors going on out there, I fear for her.

Of course, she's a bit of an anime fan and spends too much time on line. Lot of dark stuff out there.
